Yet another major change in opening of novel ... each change in the direction of doing the same thing with fewer characters. Once a minimalist, always a minimalist.
But this one has another advantage, a change of focus which I should have understood earlier, and a new character whom I like a lot, a literary novelist with early dementia, put in the retirement center by his daughter. I met several folks who were "prisoners" there at insistence of children, who had power of attorney after stroke. CJ will help him escape.
Best, I actually feel a bit excited about this. I haven't felt excited about this novel for a spell. Hope it sticks.
